Basically it takes the multiline tool tip and join lines to a single line 
until no more lines can be added without exceeding the frame width.

The idea is that if you are sofisticated enough to disable tool tips, you 
either know what they say or don't care that much.  But the main thing is to 
avoid minibuffer expansion and shrinkage.

I find that I do get the interesting information, for example

"Buffer is read-only, mouse-1 toggles"
"Buffer coding system (multi-byte): utf-8-unix, mouse-1: describe coding system"
"Buffer is Modified, mouse-1 toggles modified state"

If you are just seeing the first line ("Buffer is Modified") then you didn't 
recompile all .el files correctly.
